Create transfer order to subcontractor

Area: Supply chain. Status: GA. Developer relevance: medium. Airtime: 1 min across 1 video, demoed.

Status evidence

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 15:23 "it will be registered in a new ledger entry called work in progress ledger entry." - Names the new ledger entry that tracks WIP goods at a subcontractor, separate from item ledger entries.

Caveats mentioned

  • The action can be personalized if you use subcontracting a lot

Prerequisites mentioned

  • Components with the transfer supply method
  • Production BOM component set to be transferred from own location

Documented features match

  • No documented item matched. Not documented
  • Product documentation: Transfer WIP items between subcontractors, checked 2026-10-02. If the Transfer WIP Item field is turned on for the operation, Business Central creates a transfer line for the production order parent item in addition to transfer lines for components. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Action is Create Transf. Ord. to Subcontractor, started from the subcontracting purchase order (also in subcontract-components).

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
